Under windows 10 and DX 12, has anyone tried installing both an Nvidia and an AMD video card to see if they work together?

 

I have an ASUS Crosshair V Formula -z board with 3 pci-e slots

 

1x ASUS Nvidia GTX 970 Strix 4GB

1x MSI Radeon R9 280 OC 3GB

 

I want to install both but cant find any further info, only that it works with integrated video chipsets and  dedicated video cards installed in a slot.

 

is there anyone who has more info  on this setup?

 

Thanks

I would think not, integrated and dedicated have worked for ages, but multiple dedicated are never a good plan unless your using them properly i.e. same exact cards in SLI or x-fire.

 

But tbh, if you have the cards and the mobo, try it, who knows, but I wouldn't think it'll work well if at all.

I believe DX12 will be able to do is use two different nvidia or AMD but you can only use the lower VRAM storage when playing games.

    • I called it last year that they wouldn't end support when they said there would. There are too many people still on Windows 10 waiting for something better to upgrade to and 11 ain't it! The recent promises of fixing Windows 11's many problems is nice, but unless they deliver on those promises in a big way then I expect customers will still want to stick with 10.
    • Full ACK. I went too far adressing your post specifically. And as you said, it up to us customers as participant of the market dynamic as it happens to decide whether we spend our money on a product or not. The responsibility is to the company. In case of this price hike one could assume that MS is expecting or even starting to see a new interest in XBox hardware so they want to avoid losses per unit sold. I find it fair enough that they granted a period in which everyone interested could grab a unit for the current price (Amazon.de has a reliable stock of XBox Series X digital, which I bought last December after having sold my day one Series X a year ago). It is not that they cash up their customers starting on Monday. Cheers and let's cling to our perfectly fine hardware as long as we deem it worthy in relation to purchasing something new!
    • Not surprising at all. Apple got three months worth of marketing hype with the Macbook Neo's incredible low launch price. They have sowed the idea that the Neo is the best value laptop and that idea will last for years even though the value is no longer there. They do this every five years or so with a single new product that is amazing value which distracts from the rest of their products being horrendously overpriced.
    • I still use speccy on windows systems as a quick sysinfo thing. I know there's better but really it was the first one I used of its type
